Joanna Logue was born in the Hunter Valley, NSW. She graduated from the City Art Institute with a B.A. in Visual Arts in 1986, and then again with a Graduate Diploma majoring in Painting in 1987.
Logue has exhibited extensively in major cities throughout Australia, and internationally and has had over 22 solo exhibitions; she was first represented by King Street Gallery in 2010.
Her most recent solo exhibition at King Street Gallery, ‘Echo’, in 2022 saw Joanna’s transition from oil paints to acrylic paints, the new work gathered in this show was her first exhibition wholly in this new medium.
“She learned her craft in the bright and open landscapes of southeastern Australia, where she is from, but she now spends most of her time in the northeastern most corner of the United States, on Mount Desert Island, Maine, where everything from the vegetation, to the light, to the change of seasons is entirely different.” (Jessica Skwire Routhier, 2022, ‘Echo’ catalogue essay)
In 2011 her work was included in the New Romantics exhibition at the Gippsland Regional Gallery, Wattle: Australian Contemporary Art at Cat Street Gallery in Hong Kong and New Acquisitions at the Cowra Regional Art Gallery. In 2013 she participated in an exhibition curated by Andrew Frost at Tamworth Regional Art Gallery called The Feminine Optic: perspectives on the landscape and was a finalist in the acquisitional Kedumba Drawing Award. In 2014 she featured in Natura Morta at Orange Regional Gallery and was awarded a residency on Bruny Island, Tasmania.
Joanna was the recipient of the Country Energy Prize for Landscape Painting in 2006, and the Central West Regional Artist Award in 2009. Logue has also been selected as a finalist in the Fleurieu Art Prize, the Norvill Landscape Painting Prize, the Paddington Landscape Painting Prize and the NSW Parliament Plein Air Painting Prize.
Joanna was also selected for the regional touring exhibition Country and Western, which showcased the works of prominent national Australian artists. Additionally, Joanna has been awarded two residencies in Hill End, one by the Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, and the other with the Paddington Art Prize.
Logue works from her studio at Essington Park, Australia and also lives and works in a studio on Mount Desert Island off the coast of Maine.
'Window' is made from Joanna Logue's Essington studio and describes her intimate surroundings and the landscape at Essington Park. It is a medium that is both immediate and poetically powerful. Video allows Joanna to capture observations particular to her world, without the technical encumbrances typical of the painting process. For Logue, recoring through video is a kind of visual diarizing which offers a key to understanding her relationshop to the landscape. Moreover, it provides a visual language she can then borrow to articulate the experience through painting.
Maria Stoljar interviewed Joanna Logue about her life and art for episode 27 of the Talking with Painters podcast. Here Joanna talks about preparing for her solo show, Heartland, at King Street Gallery on William in Sydney, Australia which opened on 18 July 2017.
